Deep groove ball bearing FAG 6012-TB-P6-C3, Outer diameter: 95 mm | Width: 18 mm | Inner diameter: 60 mm

Ball bearings are essential mechanical components that reduce friction and support various loads in a wide range of industrial applications. Among them, deep groove ball bearings stand out for their versatility, their ability to operate at high speeds, and their low maintenance requirements.

This FAG brand deep groove ball bearing is distinguished by its high precision, phenolic resin cage, and increased internal radial clearance. These features also give it excellent high-speed performance and remarkable durability.

Features
This single-row ball bearing features a fabric-reinforced phenolic resin (TB) cage, ensuring optimal strength and light weight. Its precision class 6 (P6) guarantees superior dimensional accuracy, in accordance with ISO 6 tolerances. The increased internal radial clearance (C3) allows for high speeds while reducing internal friction, making it ideal for conditions requiring efficient heat dissipation. With its open design, this bearing facilitates access for maintenance and is suitable for clean, controlled environments.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and extend the bearing’s service life, it is essential to maintain adequate lubrication appropriate for the operating conditions. The use of high-quality lubricants compatible with the specific environment is recommended. Regular inspections of key parameters—such as noise, temperature, lubrication, and vibration—allow for the rapid detection of any abnormalities. If signs of wear or failure are observed, prompt replacement is advised to prevent further damage to the equipment.

Sealing
This bearing is open and has no seals, which means it is not protected from external contaminants such as dust, particles, or liquids. However, this design allows for easy access for maintenance.
